Friday 4 August 2006: PULL-UP LADDERS + PU
PULL-UP LADDERS + PU
For today's workout you will alternate sets of pull-ups or body rows with sets of push-ups. Your pull-ups/body rows will progress in ladder fashion beginning with one rep and adding an additional rep with each set; unlike pyramid training, you will not reverse your sets at the end of the workout. Instead, perform sets of pull-ups/body rows adding one rep to each set until you fail to complete a set. Then start again at one and continue building ladders until time expires (e.g. 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 4...1, 2, 3, 4, 4...1, 2, 3, etc.). Perform a set of 5-10 push-ups between each set of pull-ups/body rows. See how many reps you can perform this way in twenty minutes.
Advanced: Pull-up/Chin-up Ladders + 10 PU
Intermediate: Body Row Ladders + 5-10 PU or Knee PU
Basic: Body Row Ladders + Knee or Countertop PU
